Alexis is 3 foot 6 but he still wins the header and he chases back and wins the ball. Makes such a difference. Retaining possession in that part of the pitch is so important.

Shoot Ox!
But already so much better. Bif's best position is the bench.
Alexis gets a boot in the mush.
Plucked it out of the air with his head. :unsure:
Miquel header, flukes a save.
So then, Alexis will start up top. Bif on the bench. Ox on the flank. This much is self evident. Middle needs to be sorted out now.
Falcao off, straight up to the board room for him. :bow:
Alexis shoots, wide.
Well done Cazorla.
Wide by Alexis.
But suddenly we are keeping the ball, we have movement, we are pulling their defenders around. It makes such a difference having mobile players in key positions.
Well done Ox. Raggi wants to score for us I am sure.
Ox monstering them.
Miquel booked. As cynical as it gets. :bow:
Miquel :haha:
Little bit cynical.
Fucking hell - how bad is Monreal? he just stands there watching the game go on around him.
Get Santos back as a replacement for Monreal.
Alexis has to start up top for us.
Who's our left-sided version of Bellerin? We must have someone coming through?
Akpom, Flamini and Zelalem on
Wheelchair, Santi and Alexis off
Zelalem, Akpom and Flamini on. Wheelchair, Alexis and Cazorla off.
How arteta is rated by so many of you is beyond me lol....I'd play flamini ahead of arteta simply because he's better lol
Owen manages to say "pace" 11 times in one segment. :bow:
Just got on the game, how has Sanchez played?
Come on Arsenal.
It was a completely shit decision by Atkinson, but that's expected.
PELANTY!!!
Akpom. :bow:
Atkinson :haha:
Even in a friendly he can't help cheating.
Wait, the pelanty wasn't given? :haha:
Regardless of it being a friendly, when a ref makes a decision like that he can't be allowed to be a referee. That wasn't even close, there was no decision to be made. It was completely obvious. One ref and two assistants and they come up with a decision like that. It won't matter today but when we get this guy in a league match it becomes pure lottery rather than competitive sport.
Corruption rife, even in the Emirates Cup
Emirates Cup. :rose:
It has nearly gone again.
Atkinson gives the correct decision but then changes his mind to the incorrect one. :haha:
Lol - it was the Asian gambling syndicate who denied the pen :haha: They have their own man on the line today.
Bellerin on to save us.
Debuchy off - did okay. Bellerin on.
Good stuff by Flamini. Booked though.
Get it in the mixer!
Well the good thing is that whenever we've won the Emirates cup we haven't gone to win the league.
